Because I miss #Brewers baseball, I decided to watch every single changeup Devin Williams threw this year, and rank the 10 best.
To start (because there were too many dang good ones to pick from), some honorable mentions that just missed the cut:

Christin Stewart had, uh, no idea where this pitch was heading, I'm afraid.

Luis Robert may be a ROY candidate, but you wouldn't know from this flail of a swing against an actual ROY.

This ball disappeared from Ian Happ faster than the Cubs on a 10% chance of rain day.

This was the 5th K of the night from Williams, all with the change. Insane performance. Moose's disbelief + Williams's stank = *smirking head nod in approval*

I dub this the Stone Cold Stunner. Against one of the best hitters in the game, Williams locked Cruz up with a perfectly placed dime on the inside edge to send the game to extras.

Okay, maybe the Cleveland camera does help to amplify the nastiness of this change to Santana. Either way, the insane depth combined with the little hop-skip at the end just tickles my soul.

You don't just make a HOFer with a career 16 BB% look this silly and NOT make the top 5. Sheesh.

From his 2nd outing of the season. I cannot get over how much this ball disappears. Dyson already has his issues at the plate. This is not even remotely fair, man.

In case you may have not remembered this beauty, this was from Devin's 1st outing of the year. The movement, perfect location, game situation, and emotion make this puppy one of my faves.

The best word to describe this: helpless. Straight up turns Polanco into a T-ball player. I'm convinced no other pitch from Devin made a player look this fooled this season. Because of that, it takes the cake here.
